Accommodation - Bipin
















 Accommodation is in the city centre 25 minutes walk to the workplace. I love Al the amenities near to the place we live. They clean and tidy up every second day, no iron box is a complaint as a professional, representing Ireland has to have a ironed well presented uniform at work place, or would have been informed earlier to have one on your own. Stay is nice and comfort. Sharing room with others bit occurred. Shared accommodation with others not a problem at all, but the room is quite unacceptable because of the nature of work we do. People finish different times and different offs.rest everything is superb

 The chef I worked with had a great knowledge about real Spanish authentic cooking. So he was really focusing on his jus making techniques. The kitchen always have 3 kinds of jus all the time. One poultry, one meat.and one with fish. Any of the dish he prepare he just add  bit of his jus to flavour differently. Even to the omelette. I leaned the importance of sauce making in fine dining, and how to operate the kitchen efficiently in a tiny place, I learned the importance of the kitchen assistants, they prep everything for the busy kitchen rather than chefs doing everything, it is actually a cost effective operation and a good training for kitchen assistants.

Work

I worked in a restaurant called 5 gusto. Martin and Pedro brought me to my restaurant were I met the owner and head chef Palmira and her sous chef Sandra.

My day started most day at 12pm were we would pre for service, service usually began at 2 however sometimes earlier, during service I would usually plate the starters and desserts the main course was usually done by either Sandra or Palmira, we would usually finish at around 5 after cleaning down the kitchen. We would then start at 8:30pm for evening serve. This was a very challenging experience however I found it very rewarding and gain so much from this restaurant and the chefs I learnt from.  Unfortunlay the day I arrived Sandra gave her notice and in Spain you must give 2 weeks notices its the law, this meant that my experience in the kit...

There is so much around Valladolid itself which was amazing as I love to travel. All the cities of Salamanca, Leon and Valladolid are quite small cities so was very easy to get around. Also we went on a group trip with everyone including the Swedish students to a asparagus  farm, duck slater’s house and pacos cave which were all amazing experience to see!...
